New framework clarifies causal effect identifiability in complex systems

Researchers have introduced a new framework for understanding causal effect identifiability within causal abstractions. This approach focuses on collections of compatible causal graphs rather than individual diagrams, which is particularly useful in complex or high-dimensional scenarios where a fully specified causal graph is unrealistic. The paper formalizes various identifiability notions, organizing them into a hierarchy to clarify their relationships and highlight that an effect can be identified across a collection of graphs even if no single derivation works for all compatible graphs.
